Question
Hello MaryAnn
Not sure if this is your area but you will still get full marks from me for just an opinion LOL
My Grandchildren want to stencil some designs on their shorts.
Can I use my ordinary craft paints for this?
Many Thanks
Ellen

Answer
Hello, Ellen:

I'm not sure what "ordinary" craft paints are, but I would use fabric paints just in case ordinary doesn't cover fabric. They come in little bottles, sometimes with a sponge top for dabbing on stencils.

You're right....it's not my area...but how did I do?


By the way, I have a couple of new activities on my website at www.brightring.com to go with a new book that's coming out soon...You might enjoy doing with your grandkids.

Thanks for thinking of me.
